To all where it may concern:

Be it known that I, BERT; LLOYD, a citizen of the United States, residing at-Cokedale, in the county of Las Animas and State of Colo,- rado, have inv'ented'certainfnew and useful Im rovement-s in Dumping, Cars, Wagons,

- ant the Like, ofwhich the followingis' a specification, reference being had therein to t e accompanying-drawing.

This-invention relates to dumping cars,

- wagons and the like and has particular refer ence to cars. orwagons having mounted thereon a; truck' adapted for travel, and tiltmg movement relative to the main truckframe The invention includes a novel means of support for the auxiliary truck together with means whereby the auxiliary truck is automatically released at one end to provide for its tilting.

The invention also comprises novel means;

whereby a suitable table or platform is sup- I ported upon the auxiliary truck for inde pendent movement relative to the said truck and tilting movement therewith.

. Withthe above and other objects in view, theinvention while susceptible of a variety of different adaptations more particularly comprises an auxiliary truck mounted upon the main truck frame for movement sidewise of the frame and carrying with it a table or'plat form independently movable also sidewise of themain truck and adapted to tilt with the auxiliary truck relative to the main truck so as to dump the material to the side of the main truck. v a

Other novel features and details of construction will'be more articularly'pointed out in the description f0 lowing, and readily apparatus mounted thereon. Fig. 2 isa View similar toFigx, I shoivim the reverse side;

, Referring now more particular] a to. the drawings wherein like reference 0 aracters designate corresponding-parts through the several 'views, A designates wheels-0r runners on which is mounted the frame or body of the main, truck. This. truck may conveniently be a car,.w gon or the like, and the said main frame preFerably comprises a substantially U-shaped memberB and connecting member 13, both of said members being of substantially T-shaped cross section. Extending forwardly and upwardly from-the endsof said frame are suitable braces. C arranged to support a longitudinall extendingbar C. Braces similar to those may be provided intermediate the ends of said bar 0. The upper ends of the brace members O and the top of the bar C constitute/a sup ort for one end of the table mounted u on t e auxiliary truck about to be describe Brace arms or bars may be and freferabl are provided for p the main frame, 1; e same eing indicated-by the character I), D representoppositely disposed go ose-neck portions at one sideof the main ame, the same conveniently-being integral extensions of the free ends of the U- ,sha ed member B, and constitute means=for linnting-the movement of the auxiliary truck,

aswell as the fulcrum about which-the truck tilts. The main frame or truck issupported uon the wheels A at an inclination asclearly s own in Figs. 3 and 4. The auxiliary truck, E when released from its normal position at the upper end of the inclined frame .auto- 1 matica y moves by force" of gravity downwardly until it contacts with the goosemeck; truck, clearly.

portions D. The auxilia shown in Fig. 6, is preferab y composed of-a' I substantially Ushape bar e, aconne'oting" bar 2, and an angle bar e, the latter bein secured at its bend to the base of-the U-slia e bar e and having'offset portions at its so ends corresponding withsimilar offset portions at the ends of theconnecting bar e',

whereby each of said bars a andde are connected at c? to the free ends'ofnthe U-shapedj bar-.e. Suitable bars f are rovided extend ing parallel with the free on s of the -l.-'l'-s hapedmember e, between which bars-fund said;

free ends of the member e'fanti-frictio'n bears ings or "rollers g are journaled. F designate clips secured between the bars f and e and adapted to slidably engage the upper flange of the oppositely disposed armsof the U- shaped frame B. The saidflange is cutaway intermediate its ends at G andfare; so arranged that as the forward rollers of the auxiliary truclgreach the limit of'm vementin-en agement with the goose-necksED, the clips, will be in registration with said' cutawa'y portions 3 GV thereby permitting the truck to be re,-
